Chapter 163: Stalemate (I)

D'Antoni replaced Kenyon Martin, the interior defensive stalwart was almost blown up by Randolph today, and the opponent was about to score his 15th point, while Martin only scored 2 points, not even as much as the substitute Birdman Anderson, which made him feel like he was quite old-fashioned, and he was a little depressed when he returned to the bench.

Birdman actually couldn't stop Randolph, although he hated the opponent in the first half, it doesn't mean that he limited Randolph. But his mentality is better than Kenyon Martin, Birdman came on the court with a desperate attitude, and his defensive skills are really not that superb, completely relying on his body and fierce fighting to death.

When Randolph saw the birdman coming up, he only felt very uncomfortable, and the murderous look of the other party made him angry, and he was unwilling to fight against this opponent.

Zhang Yu made a block with the Birdman on the offensive end, and his opposing player, after the dead ball, was replaced by J.R. Smith.

Although George Karl was unhappy with J.R. Smith's style of play, Dundee Jones couldn't attract Zhang Yu's defense. This Chinese jumped up and down during this time, one will assist in defending this and one will assist in defending that, it is simply like the basketball court is his home, and a guy who can score must be put to divert his attention and make him stop.

J.R. Smith's footwork was more flexible than Dundee Jones's, coupled with his aggressive defensive attitude, and under the chaotic collision, he prevented Zhang Yu from blocking this time and followed him closely.

Zhang Yu didn't go inside, and immediately passed the ball to Wallace, and he turned around and ran without the ball.

I don't know if JR Smith has been sitting on the court for a long time, and he didn't stop releasing all his strength, and he tried his best to follow Zhang Yu. With less than ten seconds left in the offensive time, Zhang Yu still couldn't get rid of J.R. Smith and ran out of the air, and this stunned young man's serious energy sometimes made George Carr feel quite gratified.

Wallace saw that Zhang Yu had no chance, and Anderson came out to cover him at this time, so he simply broke through with the ball himself.

Gerard Wallace during the Bobcat period has a certain offensive ability with the ball, although the efficiency is average, but his impact is also very good once released, especially Anthony's defensive attitude is too poor, and he suddenly loses his guard target after being blocked.

Wallace rushed inside and scored two points with a powerful dunk before Randolph could make up for the defense.

Melon was hit by the opponent and immediately reached for the ball after the wings were in place.

Billups originally had his own plans, but once Anthony took the initiative to ask for the ball, he didn't give it or couldn't, didn't think much about it, and passed the ball directly.

Anthony made a probe immediately after receiving the ball, and Wallace was afraid of the opponent's explosive first move and had to take a step back to defend. Anthony got a certain amount of space and immediately started to shoot, and the mid-range shooting on both wings was what Melon was best at, and it was difficult to prevent it, and the basketball fell into the basket with a "swish".

Melon faced Wallace one-on-one, and once again turned on the singles scoring mode, and it was very efficient.

Zhang Yu intended to be with Wallace, but J.R. Smith couldn't let go lightly, this guy can not only shoot three-pointers, but once he has the opportunity, his breakthrough is also very threatening, putting him in a dilemma.

Anthony is too dangerous with the ball on both wings, especially when he has a good hand, and is fully capable of taking out the opponent alone. When he's a triple threat in this position, he can shoot, he can pass, he can dribble, and you can't defend yourself when you're one-on-one, you can only pray that he doesn't feel good or have a strong teammate on the inside to help you defend.

Wallace suddenly thought that his new teammate, Birdman Anderson, has excellent defensive ability, maybe he can defend Anthony's shot, let him break through, and his teammates will help him in his favor?

At this time, I have to mention how unsightly D'Antony's defensive coaching ability is, and let the players figure it out by themselves at any time, no wonder once Popovich loses, he likes to sarcastically say two sentences to D'Antoni who can't play with eight poles after the game, and he can't play with a good hand.

The old coach is also jealous, the Spurs' configuration this year can be said to be the worst in ten years, so he often has the idea of tying Zhang Yu and Wallace to his team

Zhang Yu finally decided not to help defend Anthony, since they couldn't defend against this superstar, then they would fight them. Isn't that exactly what the Knicks have always done? He still cares too much about defense in his heart, and D'Antoni doesn't know that the Nuggets are difficult to defend. Since it's hard to defend, put all your energy on offense, and you're not afraid of any team than attacking the Knicks.

If you think of it, you have to do it!

As the star of the Knicks, he must be the first to stand up and fight back, so this time he also plans to go it alone and has no blocking and dismantling.

J.R. Smith's face was slightly red, and seeing his teammates scattered, he knew that the Chinese was going to be one-on-one with him, and he was also looking forward to defending the opponent and saving the face lost in the first half.

Zhang Yu also probed first, and J.R. Smith did not retreat, still maintaining a distance not far away. Zhang Yu suddenly accelerated to break through from one side at this time, and J.R. Smith immediately moved sideways to block the breakthrough route. Zhang Yu changed hands behind his back, broke through with a beautiful turn, and brushed the completely unreflectable JR Smith in the opposite direction.

Jr Smith was convinced, this move is so difficult that only players with the same excellent body know that the flexibility and flexibility of the body and the ability to control the ball are very high, and he can't do such a difficult breakthrough move. He doesn't feel ashamed to be beaten by someone with such a difficult breakthrough, no one can stop the other party, and he can only hope that the inside player can help him block this guy.

Zhang Yu entered the inside line, jumped two steps later and hit a hand-changing lever against Nene who also jumped up the block, dodged the opponent's block in the air, and pushed the ball up from the opponent's armpit......

"Boom ......"

Zhang Yu's super difficult layup. It immediately aroused the cheers of the fans in the audience, and Xia Wei and Ai Yue'er also stood up and waved "cheerleading sticks" and shouted for him. Zhang Yu just looked back in the direction of the two girls, smiled lightly at the two of them, and was very proud of his breakthrough layup, and felt that he could enter the top ten balls of the month.

Anthony turned around and broke through the basket again.

Wallace negotiated with the Birdman ahead of time this time and gave up the inside breakout route to Anthony, who defended the outside.

Melon didn't notice it, and really stepped on the bottom line to break through, but when he arrived in the penalty area, he hit the birdman Anderson, who had already been prepared, and the two worked together to block Melon at the bottom line.

Anthony found that there was no passing route, so he could only shoot hard, and was slapped out by Birdman Anderson.

Crawford got the basketball and immediately accelerated to the frontcourt.

Billups stepped forward to delay Crawford and tried to use his body to press down the Knicks' fast break, but Crawford did not stick to the ball and passed directly to Zhang Yu, who had already passed the halfcourt.

Jr Smith doesn't dare to break the ball rashly now, this game because of his risky break, has made Zhang Yu easily break to the basket several times, no longer remember this time should also remember, he followed Zhang Yu to interfere with his layup.

Zhang Yu dribbled into the restricted area and separated JR Smith with his body and went directly to the basket, the action was not very good-looking, but it completely made JR Smith unable to break the ball and block it, and easily scored the basketball.

At 6:20 in the third quarter, the score was 69:66, and the Knicks led by 3 points, and George Carr called a timeout. Anthony has played too many singles during this period and something has to change. Even if this change is just a change in singles, it will always change, right?

Zhang Yu has 27 points and 4 assists, Anthony 25, Randolph 14 and Billups 13.

After the game restarted, the Nuggets began to play Randolph on the inside again.

George Karl also took care of the mood of the core of the team, not directly handing the ball to Randolph as soon as he came up, but letting Anthony hold the ball first, attract the defense and then pass the ball to Randolph. Although this seems to be a superfluous move, but if you don't turn around like this, Anthony should be unhappy.

Many times, NBA coaches have to consider not only tactics, but also player psychology, especially guys like Kobe and Anthony, whether they can control his feelings is the most important thing.

Anthony swooped down, and sure enough, Anderson was prepared, wrapped him around again, and Melon hit the ground and passed the ball to Randolph.

Randolph felt that he was really a cheater like this, and more than half of the attack time had been wasted, and there were only more than ten seconds left for him, so he didn't dare to delay, so he sat down and fought directly.

Anderson wanted to contain Anthony, and this time the defensive position was deeper, which was beneficial to Randolph.

The black fat man was almost under the basket after squeezing it, and immediately turned over and made a jumper, and the basketball hit easily.

Randolph has a lot of tricks on the offensive end, commonly used half-hook hands, turnover jumpers, and good interior footwork, coupled with his strength, most interior defenders are difficult to defend this dead fat man.

After the goal, Randolph passed by the Knicks bench, slapped D'Antoni on the chest, and let out a roar, which made the mustache turn blue with anger, which was a demonstration to him!

D'Antoni didn't like Randolph, and the black fat man hated mustaches in his heart, and the two were very incompatible on the first day they met.

Zhang Yu saw the contradiction between the two and secretly had fun on the side. Of course, it certainly can't be seen from his face.

The Nuggets suspended last time in addition to arranging offense, but also arranged the defense of Zhang Yu, the two interior lines also wrapped up this guy, and the outside defense was all handed over to Jr Smith, so it doesn't matter if Zhang Yu breaks through, but to keep up with the interference, it must not let Zhang Yu have an open shooting opportunity in the high post.

With Anderson's cover, Zhang Yu stepped into the high post and prepared to shoot.

Randolph, the dead fat man, finally came out this time, and George Carr specially told Randolph that he must interfere with Zhang Yu's high shot.

Zhang Yu changed his throw into a sudden, a small big fight, and directly used his speed to wipe over this dead fat man.

Nene erected a third line of defense under the basket, and the Brazilian's defense was also very threatening, and Zhang Yu immediately passed the ball to David Lee.

Although Randolph is fat, he is very flexible, and he is best described as a flexible fat man, and he quickly rotated to David Lee to defend
